UK's hardest seagulls mapped as towns ruled by psycho 'XL Gullies' that 'go for blood'

The UK's most aggressive seagulls, dubbed 'XL Gullies', have been mapped out as they continue to terrorise towns by stealing food, shoplifting and even attacking residents.

Aberdeen is reportedly home to the country's most ruthless birds, described as "another lever of psychotic" and "out for blood."

This follows a report by the Daily Star on a giant "top level boss" gull causing chaos in Liverpool city centre, leading to an increase in "XL Gullies" stealing people's pasties.

This prompted a discussion on Reddit where one user asked: "Which town in the UK has the roughest seagulls? " They added: "I don't live there any more but I'm going to throw Aberystwyth's hat in the ring, the seagulls in mid Wales are basically pure evil."

One user responded: "Aberdeen. It's not even a close competition There's a few will regularly help themselves to stuff in shops. Routine attacks on people are normal. Oh and they are f*****g massive and hyper aggressive. Plenty of towns have bad gull problems but Aberdeen is a whole other level of psychotic b****d birds."

Another agreed, sharing their own experience: "Two of the vicious buggers knicked a baguette out of my car boot when I was loading my shopping and then others mobbed me when I tried to shut the boot. I've lived in a number of coastal areas in the UK but the Aberdeen gulls are something else.", reports the Daily Star.

Residents across the UK have been voicing their frustrations with aggressive seagulls, with one individual from Aberdeen stating: "I moved from the Highlands to Aberdeen and I thought Highland seagulls were the worst... Until my first encounter with an Aberdonian seagull. They are absolutely ruthless and will go for blood (sadly, not an exaggeration)."

In response to the growing problem, some councils in coastal areas have taken to issuing survival guides. For instance, newcomers at the University of Sussex in Brighton are being warned through flyers that seagulls will "rob" them.

The issue is widespread, with one Reddit user recounting their own harrowing experience in Brighton, having been attacked by "gangs of vicious seagulls."

Meanwhile, a resident of St Ives weighed in on the debate, describing the local gulls as formidable: "Cornish gulls are like pterodactyls. I've lived there all my life and a St Ives gull got me swooping over my shoulder and took my ice cream cone."

Another person shared a similar encounter: "Yep. Had one headbutt me and f****d off with half my pasty. I live in Newquay and they aren't nearly as bad as the St Ives ones."

The conversation soon turned to Wales, where the seagull situation seems equally dire.

A comment from Rhyl read: "Rhyl. They all need ASBOs."

This was followed by a chilling account: "I had my scalp torn open by a Rhyl gull."

"Llandudno. Seagulls there are absolute psychopaths and will nail your ice creams on the pier," another added, sharing their own unpleasant experience.

One individual recalled a memorable incident from their youth: "I saw a guy drop a seagull with an uppercut after it stole his chips in Barmouth, Wales, when I was like 15 years old. I know that doesn't speak much for the roughness of the seagulls there, but it's a fun story I like to reminisce about."

However, one local resident voiced their frustration, stating: "The underlying question here is which town is most frequented by the inconsiderate tossers who feed them, not appreciating the hell this causes to the locals and especially young children."

Another resident bluntly summed up the sentiment, saying: "I think we can all agree that seagulls are c***s."
